Two Level Nested and Sequential Logit
This technical note provides comprehensive derivations of fundamental equations in two-level nested and sequential logit models for analyzing hierarchical choice structures. We present derivations of the Berry (1994) inversion formula, nested inclusive values computation, and multi-level market share equations, complementing existing literature. While conceptually distinct, nested and sequential logit models share mathematical similarities and, under specific distributional assumptions, yield identical inversion formulas-offering valuable analytical insights. These notes serve as a practical reference for researchers implementing multi-level discrete choice models in empirical applications, particularly in industrial organization and demand estimation contexts, and complement Mansley et al. (2019).

Behavioral Foundations of Nested Stochastic Choice and Nested Logit
We provide the first behavioral characterization of nested logit, a foundational and widely applied discrete choice model, through the introduction of a non-parametric version of nested logit that we call Nested Stochast…
Learning Structure in Nested Logit Models
This paper introduces a new data-driven methodology for nested logit structure discovery. Nested logit models allow the modeling of positive correlations between the error terms of the utility specifications of the diffe…
Discrete Diffusion Inference-Time Control with Nested Sequential Monte Carlo
We study inference-time control for text generation in discrete diffusion language models, where the goal is to steer sampling toward sequence-level rewards without retraining. Prior work in this domain has focused on pa…
Text GenerationEnhancing Discrete Choice Models with Representation Learning
In discrete choice modeling (DCM), model misspecifications may lead to limited predictability and biased parameter estimates. In this paper, we propose a new approach for estimating choice models in which we divide the s…

We consider a model of learning and evolution in games whose action sets are endowed with a partition-based similarity structure intended to capture exogenous similarities between strategies. In this model, revising agen…
